Move a Cartridge
With RDX QuikStation 8 virtual library configurations, you can logically move a cartridge to
an open slot, to the I/E port, or to the tape drives.
NOTE: If you move a cartridge to the I/E port, the cartridge will be ejected from the dock, and the
cartridge is logically removed from the library.
In most cases, you should use your backup software application to logically move cartridges
within the virtual library or autoloader. This functionality is built into the RDX QuikStation
mainly for testing and diagnostic purposes.
NOTE: Make sure that you do not have any backup jobs in progress before you logically move a
cartridge.
To logically move cartridges:
1.
From the
Logical Device
interface, select the
tape slot, I/E Port, or tape drive
from
the tree view in the left pane.
2.
Select
Move Media
.
The Move Media dialog window opens.
3.
Using the drop-down menus, verify the
Source
slot you chose and select the
Destination
slot.
The
Source
drop-down menu only displays the slots that contain an inserted cartridge,
and the
Destination
drop-down menu only displays empty slots.
4.
Click
